RE: Would...If you can't swing a deal with a willing management team, the next step is to arrange a hostile take-over bid... personally, I don't think they would have tried the symbiotic relationship if they had enough money to take it out straight away...
IMHO, I think IF it is going to get a take-over offer, it will have to come within a year from now, otherwise it will simply be too big to buy... (assuming that the growth continues at the rate it is)...
